    Is anybody claiming carers for you (based on your previous DLA award)?
    Social services may also give you Direct payments so you can pay for a carer but that would take time to arrange.

    Edit; I see you have mentioned you cannot afford your PA anymore. Is this because carers has stopped or is it due to a reduction in income (from DLA to standard PIP)? I understood you could still get carers for standard daily living.

    I also see you intend to contact social services about getting help.
